DIMP rule as posted in the federal register as of December 4, 2009. SHRIMP produces a complete, written DIMP plan customized for the specific needs of the user. It is much more than a model plan. It is more like Turbo-Tax, which asks questions about a user’s finances and creates an income tax return ready to sign and submit. SHRIMP asks questions about the user’s distribution infrastructure and creates a written DIMP plan ready to implement.
